This rare foil promo features a mana cost of {3}{R}{G}{W} and is classified as a Legendary Creature — Human Warrior Cleric. The card possesses 4 power and 5 toughness. It grants first strike, vigilance, and haste upon entering the battlefield. The card’s central mechanic revolves around a variable called speed.

Additionally, noncreature spells you cast cost {X} less to cast, where X is your speed. This creates a dynamic gameplay loop that rewards aggressive play and life total manipulation.
